Alonso last night


Hoff

Recommended Posts

Scored from inside our half after the whistle had been blown for a foul by Crouch in the 2nd half. I don't think he did it to waste time because he seemed to hit it as soon as the whistle blew.

 

Martyn was just inside their penalty and box and he had no chance of getting it.

Have to say I see I didn't see it and I haven't seen it before either in any game at all.

I saw it at the game, but in none of the playbacks since. Xabi tries this every now and again, being the most aware player on the pitch. he'll get one sooner or later.

I heard that he wasn't trying to score but hit some spotty, mouthy fifteen year old who kept shouting 'murderers', in the face. That Xabi is useless, I'll have to hire a hitman next time.

at Sunderland he was ppractising them before kick off......and tried one there too

 

he has tried maybe 3 or 4...he did one straight from a kick off also

 

And the one at United was very good...Carroll had to drop the ball in front of him to stop him taking it over the line

His crosses are rare but usually good, and set pieces are usually subhumed :blink:  to Gerrard

"Sub", meaning low or lower; "Hum" being to create a tune with one's mouth closed...

 

Alonso apparently gives instructions to Gerrard at set pieces, very quietly, with his mouth closed, through the use of popular tunes? (I notice the number one tune at the mo is "That's my goal", which would be a good one I guess?!)

around when and who did the foul on Crouch?

it was midway through the second half andI honestly cant remember who was involved with Crouch....but basically there was a tussle, the ref blew for a foul, as the ball fell, and at the same time as the whistle blew, Xabi hit the ball on the half volley, 1st time..........Martyn was stood about a yard outside his box, and Xabi's shot flew over his head into the net, dead centre of the goal...if the whistle hadnt have blown, and I am convinced it wasnt a foul, Xabi would have scored the greatest derby goal ever

Posts merged:

Xabi is class, we all know taht, but why the f*** is he so bad at crossing, and why the f*** are his set pieces so s***?

what are you talking about?

 

His set pieces are fine...........His corissing isnt the best but then he isnt a winger is he

Agree with fyds. He puts in his best ones from the edge of the box when we have a corner cleared. He puts alot of height and dip on them, to try and beat the offside trap.

I might agree with Fyds if I knew what the Jaysus he is saying.

 

Subhumed?
